Problems 33 and 34 are paired. One end of a uniform beam that weighs 2.80 102 N is attached to a wall with a hinge pin. The other end is supported by a cable making the angles shown in Figure P14.33. Find the tension in the cable. FIGURE P14.33 Problems 33 and 34.
A uniform horizontal strut weighs 400.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support the wall and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs 200.0 N The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assuming that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of the s find the tension in the cable and the force at the hinge of the strut.
Suppose the weight of the drawbridge in Figure 9.34 is supported entirely by its hinges and the opposite shore, so that its cables are slack.
